entirely new style Of picture, it being life
size, taken direct from life, without the
aid of the solar camera. This style of
picture is the invention of Rochester
artist and has not yet been generally in
troduced. The finish is as fne as in a
cabinet size. Two or three specimens, to
be seen in his rooms, are remarkable both
for pose and finish, aud the price brings
them within the reach of almost any one.

The mother of Warren A. Greene,
Esq, Of this city, died At noon to-day,
Wednesday, at Providence, r. |. She
was in her ninetieth year, but possessing
remarkable vigor, she looked many years
younger. A few years ago we met her
and her husband (now deceased, J while on
a visit 10 this city, and were struck with
their courteous manners and pleasant
conversation. Mrs. Green was particu-
larry winning, and shs gained .hs love of
all who mot her. That which Is nobIcst
in wcman--a Christian heart and cult
waiting mind--shone forth In her and gave
her gentle manners, loving heart and o
tender consideration for others. With
these qualities, it is not singular that her
son was devotedly attached her. In his
deep sorrow he has the earnest sympathy
of his innumerable friends 10 this city.
Mr.. Green was with his mother at the
time Of her death, having been telegraph
ed for on Saturday Of last week.

week, of little girl named Hamilton, who re-
sides near Beallsville, who arose from her bed
at midnight in a sound sleep, and after unlock
ing the door, her sleeping fancies led her in the
direction of the barn, but before she had pro-
ceeded more than two-thirds of the dis
tance she awakened. Very naturally, she was
badly frightened, and that fright increased
when, on turning around TO retrace her steps,
she saw what appeared to her to be the form
of man standing between her and the barn
Now thoroughly frightened, she fed to the
nearest neighbor, distance of probably half 0
mile, but her faint voice was unable to awaken
the inmates, and in despair she went on to the
home of the next farmer. Here she was sue.
eessful in awakening the occupants, and wat
admitted. She was so badly frozen that botf
feet will have to be amputated, and her armi
were frozen stiff.

Some Corrections
EDrroI BELMONT CHRONICLE:

EDITOR BELMONT CHRONICLE:
Please allow me space to make some correc-
tions of the Farmers Institute report. In
this report, the statement, "South America
alone produced annually 70,0O0,OOO sheep, 3"
&C., should be, South America numbered last
year 10000, 600 sheep and produced about ~
pounds of good unwashed wool each; and that
the United States purchased and used 10000
600 pounds last year. This did not equal our
entire production of WOOL With our 4S, ,322, :
900 sheep it would be about q of pound to
each of our sheep. / find the same confused
idea as to the mik-carrying system of South
America reported: Transported in pouches
that contained as much as 40 gallons" whereas
the milk, as stated, is carried in tin cans sus-
pended over the horses (not ponies) in leather
pouches did state that thought single
cart, such as used over the streets of Buenos
Aires. would weigh four tons, and on these
were transported immense loads (but not 20 to
80 tons). Neither did | say two sacks of coffee
would weigh 400 pounds to the sack In the
matter of the slaughter Of the equines in South
America, the statement was, that by reason OF
prejudice or superstition of the Spanish peo-
pie, the mares are used only for propsgating,
and all surplus of this sex are slaughtered for
their hides, oil, bones and hoofs, and these are
exported. | make these corrections in the in
terest of fair understanding of these matters
Very respectfully, J. II. CLOSE.
